Whaaaa? That’s an absolutely ridiculous characterization.


Israel said from the start of their campaign that Hamas uses the biggest hospital complex in Gaza as cover for its underground HQ. It says the HQ was built first, and then the hospital built above it only to be a shield with major PR benefits.

Additionally, there was an explosion in a parking lot, which was immediately reported in many outlets as an Israeli airstrike on a hospital. Intelligence seems to confirm it was not. It was an errant Islamic Jihad rocket hitting a lot near a hospital, not a targeted shot at the hospital by anyone.

But Israel has never denied that it will need to navigate hospitals to get at Hamas command and control. The clear war crime here is…using a hospital as a shield.

Your characterization of all this is pure spin and propaganda.
